Is there something like a non-DOM UI framework? Either you paint your pixels yourself or you have something equivalent to a DOM.

Even without fancy HTML5 stuff anybody could have sent a prerendered image.

I remember web-sites which exclusively rendered in Flash. I avoided them like a plague.

A while ago Flipboard released a canvas based UI. https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas

Most companies do use some flash nonsense, but given the state of that, I'm sure they'll find some new insanity to foist on us.
